On-Demand Focus-Block Defender
Triggered manually for any chosen week, finds the largest unbooked gaps each day and creates protected focus-block holds on the calendar.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerManual run for target week
- ActionRead target week's eventsGoogle Calendar
- LogicFind largest gap and check minimum length
- ActionCreate protected focus-block holdsGoogle Calendar
- OutputReport reserved and unfixable days to SlackSlack
What it does
Turns auditing into action. On demand for a target week, it scans each day for the biggest available gap, and where a gap of at least the desired length exists, it books a held focus block directly on Google Calendar marked as busy. For days too fragmented to protect, it flags them instead. A Slack message summarizes what was reserved and what needs manual rescheduling.
When to use it
Use it before a heads-down week, sprint, or crunch when you want focus time defended proactively rather than hoping gaps survive. Run it manually whenever you need to claim back your week in one move.
How it works
- 1A manual trigger runs with a chosen target week.
- 2The flow reads all events for that week from Google Calendar.
- 3A logic step finds each day's largest free gap and decides if it meets the minimum length.
- 4For qualifying days it creates a protected focus-block event on the calendar.
- 5Days that can't be protected are recorded as unfixable.
- 6A Slack message reports reserved blocks and flags the days needing manual attention.
